How to load presets on the Hotone Ampero II Stage

Back up first, then load your SoundShop presets on the Hotone Ampero II Stage with the steps below.

This guide has 4 steps, start to finish. A printable PDF of it is also in every pack download.

The steps

1. Get Ampero II Software

Ampero II Software is Hotone's free editor for Ampero II Stage. Download the newest Ampero II Setup for Mac or Windows from the Ampero II Stage software list on Hotone's Support page.

2. Connect and back up

Connect your Stage's USB-C port to your computer and open Ampero II Software. Before you change anything, use Backup Device Data to save everything on your Stage. Then update to the latest firmware from the Ampero II Stage firmware list on Hotone's Support page.

3. Load your presets

Unzip your download. Skip any __MACOSX folder and any file starting with ._ (Mac leftovers). Open the Presets folder and use Import Patch to load each .prst file into an empty patch. On a factory-fresh Stage, patches A26-1 to A60-5 are empty. Ignore the A01 at the start of each file name. On a Stage, A01-1 to A21-5 hold Hotone's factory patches.

4. Test out your new presets

You are good to go! Play through the sounds and see what inspires you. If you share something, tag the artist on social media. They would love to hear how you are using their presets.

Troubleshooting

  • Check out Hotone's Support page for manuals, firmware and official troubleshooting tips.
  • The Android download on that software list is a phone app. These steps use the Mac or Windows Setup.

Questions

No computer handy?

Once your Stage is on WLAN and signed in to your Hotone account, the Internet menu in GLOBAL can back up all its data to the cloud and update its firmware.
